Basic Sound Reinforcement System

A typical sound reinforcement system consists of; input transducers (e.g., microphones), which convert sound energy into an electric signal, signal processors which alter the signal characteristics (e.g., equalizers, compressors, etc.), amplifiers, which add power to the signal without otherwise changing its content, and output transducers (e.g., loudspeakers), which convert the signal back into sound energy. These primary parts involve varying amounts of individual components to achieve the desired goal of reinforcing and clarifying the sound to the audience, performers, or other individuals.
